What is after-builders cleaning?
After-builders cleaning is the final clean carried out after construction or renovation work. It removes fine dust and cement, paint, adhesive and silicone residue from floors, glass, kitchens, bathrooms and finishes, so the space is ready to live in, let or open to the public.

Frequently asked questions about after-builders cleaning
Answers to the most common questions, all in one place. If you can't find yours, get in touch.
Chat on WhatsAppHow much does after-builders cleaning cost?
The price depends on the area, the type of work, the condition of the space and access. As building mess varies a lot, we price every quote individually. Send photos and the approximate area via the form or WhatsApp and we'll reply with no obligation.
When should after-builders cleaning be done?
Once the construction, painting and fitting work is finished, and before you furnish or move in. That way, dust from the final stages doesn't settle again. Agree the date with us to fit in with the handover.
How long does after-builders cleaning take?
It depends on the area and the condition of the space. It can take anything from a few hours to several days, with the team sized to meet the handover date. We give the estimated duration in the quote.
Is after-builders cleaning different from a regular clean?
Yes. As well as the usual cleaning, it deals with fine building dust, cement, paint, adhesive and silicone, which need specific products and methods so as not to scratch floors or glass. That's why it's a deeper, longer clean.
